Obsidian plugins with #performance#

The Advanced Metadata Cache plugin maintains optional indexes for backlinks, note names, frontmatter titles and heading history to avoid repeated full vault scans. Its Backlinks module replaces the core lookup while retaining fast, safe and original calls for compatibility. The Names module accelerates link suggestions and supports reverse lookup by note name or alias. Titles can expose configured frontmatter properties as names and optionally append them to wikilink autocomplete. Canvas links are indexed, with frontmatter markdown links supported when the related plugin is installed. The Headings module records created, modified and seen times without changing note content, then exposes them through a published API. Each module can be enabled independently, unloads its listeners and commands when disabled and rebuilds its index when switched on.

The Pretext Optimizer plugin reduces rendering overhead in large notes by computing text height ahead of time and applying `min-height` before the browser measures each block. It works in both preview and edit mode, hooking into markdown rendering and CodeMirror lines so long callouts, blockquotes and tables open with less layout churn. A smart cache reuses results for identical text and font combinations, which cuts repeated work across similar content. Recent changes also narrow scanning to visible content, throttle mutation handling with animation frames and batch heavier processing when the browser is idle.
